In the NBA player universe, Billy Owens is not a superstar, but a unique existence. He is a "leader of the league", and has been traded for 6 teams in 10 years and has been traded 7 times; he is a "pioneer of ball-handling forward", 2.06 meters tall but possesses the ball like a guard; he is Durant's idol, using his skills and perseverance to write a basketball story of "ordinary but extraordinary".

In the 1991 draft, Owens was selected by the Kings with the third pick in the first round, and was immediately traded to the Warriors for Mickey Richmond (at that time most people disliked the deal). But he slapped his performance in the face: he was selected for the All-Rookie Team in 1991-92. In the Warriors' three seasons, he averaged 15 points and 8 rebounds per game, proving that he deserved the identity of Tanhua.

From 1991 to 2001, Owens played for the Warriors (two-in-the-palace), Heat, Kings, Supersonics, 76ers, and Pistons. He changed 6 teams in 10 years and was traded 7 times, becoming a well-known "Battleman" in the league. But wandering ≠ worthless - he relies on his comprehensive skills (ball control, pass, rebound, ball-holding attack), and can be used as a "tactical puzzle" anywhere. His average of 15 points and 8 rebounds per game in the 1993-94 season is a proof of his career highlight.

2m 06, but with defender-level ball control skills, Owens was an early representative of the "ball forward". He can attack, attract defense, and pass smartly, and this style has influenced latecomers. Even Durant said bluntly: "He was the first player to imitate, and he was the first game video he watched!" From Carter, McGrady to Kobe and LeBron, Owens is Durant's "enlightenment idol" on basketball, which shows his technical charm.

In addition to the NBA, Owens also represented the United States in the 1990 FIBA ​​World Championships and won a bronze medal. He averaged 11.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists in his career, and 1 All-Rookie Team. His data is not explosive, but he relies on "comprehensiveness" and "unique style" to leave a mark in the league - he is not a superstar, but an "extraordinary player" that cannot be ignored. He interprets the value of basketball with a wandering career: it is not just scoring and championship.
